Recently i got a problem with Mplayer OS X and font rendering. I don't know if anyone got it but here's what i did to solve my problem.
Open terminal and type: open .mplayer assuming that you are on your home directory (by default, it is) open the fonts folder and delete/move everything to another folder. Try to open the file again. It worked for me with Itazura na Kiss, it was rendering a complete different font (conflict maybe?). This was the first time i got it, and i felt the need to share this information if anyone got the same problem as me. Btw, my mplayer font folder was OVER 150MB (something like 186MB i don't remember now). |

Just for curiosity what video module are both of you using? i used Mplayer OS X module in the past but i now use core video because of the multi monitor setup i have. You might try that because it's using some APIs from OS X and might help somehow.

By default it uses Mplayer OS X. To change it it's easy
Open Mplayer OS X, go to preferences, then video & audio. You will see the video output module. Just select CoreVideo (BETA) (don't mind the BETA thing) and click ok. open a file a test it. you may also play with other preferences to see if you can get any kind of boost to your videos. |

Here's one for you. I'm trying to watch Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto - Natsu no Sora episode 1 and neither MPlayer, QuickTime Pro (w/ Perian) or VLC can seem to get it right.
So far, MPlayer shows the font style correctly. QuickTime almost gets the font positioning correct, and VLC is just confused to hell. Any idea what the issue could be? Spoiler for screenshot of all three:

I've checked out that file on my Mac; given I'm on a slightly more recent build of MPlayer than has been released here at the moment, it acts exactly as Perian does; the subtitles start in the mid-right of the screen. This would suggest that in part that something has been altered on MPlayer's source since the last released build here. I note there was a patch toward the end of March, which would tie in with when I last worked on it... Bottom-line is without asking a Windows user to check if the file renders properly, it's difficult to make a judgement call. Digging through the source, it seems the file is encoded as a V4+ subtitle file. The Kanji style is set on a 270 degree rotation which would make sense given the odd angle it's being rendered, and is set as 5 on Alignment. This suggests it's _supposed_ to appear centre-justified at the top, but I'm no SSA expert. Though quite often, the OP/EDs seem to me the one area where Fansubtitlers seem to prefer hard-subs to soft-subs. |

I suppose I should drop by here and let people know that I really don't check this site as often as I used too. In fact I haven't even watched any anime since several months ago (I even went to an anime convention and didn't watch any). I am quite well aware that the OP is long overdue for a complete overhaul due to many changes since I last updated it. My life is changing right now, I'm out of college now and starting off a new career. So, I don't really see myself having the time to keep current with all the new updates available for Mac.
So my suggestions are: that somebody else starts up a new thread, or that a moderator implement updates, or a moderator gives someone else the power to edit the first post of this thread (is that even possible?). I really enjoyed updating this thread, and all the thanks I got for starting it. But I know that this thread needs someone with more free time to give it the justice it deserves.

I've been working on the osx gui of mplayer and completely reworked the preferences dialog.
Some new options are, for example: - Take screenshots - Deinterlace filter(s) - More postprocessing options - Options for ass and embedded fonts - Audio and video equalizers Here are some screenshots: You can download the current version here: http://files.rubbishchute.net/animes...X_ext-rev3.dmg This build includes the official rc2 mplayer binary. I recommend to compile your own version, you can find out how in this thread: http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=68394

The build has been working excellently for every video I've managed to throw at it. One curious thing is the that the OSD doesn't work perfectly. The seek bar and the icon (pause, play, etc) show up but things like languages while scrolling through subtitles, chapter titles, and the progress time don't appear.

So I am glad that you posted this new version, and it works like a charm I deleted mohammed with addzapper and deleted the config files so now it's fresh! Thanks a lot man! Although I have the same problem as the previous version I simply create an input.conf file and type RIGHT seek +3 LEFT seek -3 but it does not skip 3 seconds forward nor backward so I had to delete the file. Any ideas? Last edited by MEDiAHORAN; 2008-07-31 at 12:17. |

anime_layer, I'm using that build you made and it's working fine, I was wondering how can I change audio modes? In the previous one that was floating around I used to press J and that would let me change the subtitles, and with the audio I'd use -aid and the number of the track.
How does it work for your compiled version? I also noticed that, if I press J it changes the subtitles but it doesn't show up any text (like the version floating around used to do). Edit: I just saw the parameters thing in the preferences, so I'm working it again with -aid. |

Managed to cross-compile to ppc. Works in rosetta so I guess it's fine but haven't got a real ppc mac anymore to try. Haven't made a version with altivec disabled. Hope nobody minds.
Also fixed the OSD font. Fontconfig is now activated unconditionally (seems like it's not forced anymore with -ass) and the font selection has been adapted, too. Hope it works for everyone. http://files.rubbishchute.net/animes...X_ext-rev4.dmg
